Popular Post stories and songs Posted February 18 Popular Post Posted February 18 To answer this I decided to do research and count up how many songs from each album are in my GD favorite songs playlist. 21 CB/Warning tied for first and RevRad/Saviors tied for second…and the science is right, because those four are exactly what I would’ve picked as my favorite Green Day albums. I’d say the common theme between all four is the sharp writing. 21CB is so sweeping and ambitious, I love acoustic rock and so Warning has always appealed to me, and I love the mix of old and new sounds on RevRad and Saviors. The latter two are both just fun albums that really convey what Green Day feels like to me — warm, heartfelt, honest, and worried about the world. 6 Quote
Popular Post GreenDayJunkie86 Posted February 18 Popular Post Posted February 18 I can't pick a favorite album overall, but my current obsession is 21st Century Breakdown. My obsessions change ALL of the time, lol. 5 Quote
Cris. Posted February 19 Posted February 19 American Idiot. Yeah yeah, cliche, I know. But it's the album that got me into Green Day and shaped me in so many ways. I wasn't even aware of how deep a mark that album left on me until they announced they'd be playing Dookie and AI in their entirety live, and I just knew I had a to go to more shows to see that. And as hyped as I was for getting Dookie in full, the excitement of seeing AI was on a whole other level. The experience of it being played live was just such an emotional thing for me. I don't think I'd get that with any other album. That said, I really really really love most of their albums and a bit like @GreenDayJunkie86, my "favorite" at a given time, or the one that I play on repeat at given time, varies throughout the year, and depends a lot on my mood or what I haven't listened to in a while. But even the trilogy, which is my least favorite era, has gotten played quite a bit in the last year. 4 Quote
The Grohl Posted February 20 Posted February 20 My favorite still is American Idiot. There was a time I couldn't decide between Dookie and AI, but seeing AI live really solidified it for me. Similar to @Cris. that album got me into the band. Hearing it live was so special. It took me back to that era and falling in love with the band. It was just a happy time. 4 Quote

It is a very relatable album, most of the songs on it speak to me 1 Quote
Popular Post mikedirntseviltwin Posted February 20 Popular Post Posted February 20 I love everything that they've produced so far, but if I had to say a favorite, it's gotta be 21st Century Breakdown. I consider it the absolute peak of Green Day, the album cycle when they were at the peak of their powers. The album is huge and cinematic and there's not a track I don't like. (Shoutout to Peacemaker, Modern World, and Christian's Inferno, you don't get talked about as much as you should). The 21st Century Breakdown World Tour is the stuff of absolute legend, Awesome as F**K is one of my favorite live albums ever. I don't have words to describe how much 21st Century Breakdown means to me, honestly. A day won't come when I won't feel a warm feeling hearing a buzz of radio static and the words... Sing us a song of the century... That's louder than bombs and eternity... The era of static and contraband... Leading us into the promised land... Tell me a story that's by candlelight... Waging a war and losing the fight... They're playing the song of the century... Panic and promise and prosperity... Tell us a story into that good night... Sing us a song for me... 3 2 Quote
That Dude Posted February 20 Posted February 20 American Idiot / Nimrod / Warning are my top three. If Shenanigans was considered an album, it would beat warning. 2 Quote

greenalert997x Posted February 21 Posted February 21 21st century breakdown, American Idiot, Dookie, Insomiac. But it changes all the time I also love 39/smooth 2 Quote
Hermione Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Nimrod is perfection. I just love that specific sound it has with the surfy influence and how many different and quirky things they did with it. Quote
Undómiel Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Cliché but American Idiot. There's not a single song I skip, or like less, it's just so strong as an album. Also BIAB was the first GD album I ever heard so it was the era I got into them. It's just an epic, up there in the annals of rock history as one of the best albums ever written. I struggle to order the rest in terms of preference, apart from the ones I like least, because on any given day it could be Insomniac, Warning, Kerplunk, 21CB, Rev Rad, or Saviors in position no. 2 - it just depends what mood I'm in 😅 3 Quote

Popular Post Dingle Posted February 22 Popular Post Posted February 22 Looking at the fan album ranking on green day.fm, Dookie, AI and Saviors take top 3 spots. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-album-rankings/ Imho GD's two greatest albums ever are Kerplunk & 39/Smooth. Of course there's been better quality, better sounding, and better produced GD albums since. And you can now choose your fav with all to compare with. Imagine it's December 1991, you've heard GD on radio for first time. You're seen them live for first time. And a few weeks later you get your first ever GD LP to play, Kerplunk. It's raw, brash, no special effects, totally punk, you've never heard anything like it. Your hooked. This is the most amazing sound to fill your head, nothing will be the same again. These two albums will always be special, coz that's where it all began and you where there and felt it. 4 2 Quote

When I cover/perform that song I always replace Billie's name with mine, lol. This is very unrelated but I was at work last summer (don't work there anymore) and a new guy called me Billie. I didn't bother correcting him, I was flattered lol. 2 Quote
